Has anyone had a recent problem with a horrible smell from the Carlson suoer omega 3 gems?

no one in our home has a problem with the smell (my husban, or myself) and we also use to give them to our dog.

Yes I have noticed it when I replaced my lamp both times I smelt it. The smell goes away I replaced my lamp almost 2 months ago and no issues and don't smell anything anymore. I think I only smelled it for maybe a week.

I have had this issue too but discovered washing at a higher temp and or using a bit of bleach and using an extra rinse cycle keeps the synthetics fresh. Otherwise, the synthetics will stink!

We did not have an issue. The smell was reminiscent of a "new product smell" that dissipated once it was no longer new. I would imagine that it might be remedied with a cleaning?

That is odd, because my bottle's oil from Nuriva is thick, Orange in color and has a slight earthy smell. You should contact the company.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

I buy a bottle every three months and, after opening it, it has never smelled a little fishy. Maybe you got a bad bottle. I would return it and ask for another one.

I assume you're talking about the bottle of krill, not the capsule... My bottle has a little fish smell but not a nose turning overbearing smell. May be one of the capsules broke and leaked? I would pour out the bottle into a bowl and look for a broken capsule... Again, my bottle does not have a overly obnoxious fishy odor. These capsules also did not give me any fishy aftertaste. I hope this helps you!

I also have this problem and I have two of these machines. It is horrible, I washed it and replaced the water and a few hours later the same smell and metallic taste, Im sick about it. I have been using this for my newborn for 2 months!! It is either the steel plate at the bottom or its the plastic, either way, its awful! I called the company and they said wash it out with vinegar, still doesn't work.

I didn't notice anything myself, but perhaps the odor you smelled is because the oil is so concentrated. The company sent me an email soon after I received the product, asking for feedback. You can ask the question of them directly.

I know. That happened to me too. I soaked them in hot water with dish-washing soap for an hour. Washed them thoroughly and dried them. I have had to repeat the procedure a second time. Now there is no smell. The effort is worth it. The product is great. I just got out some leftover smoothie that I had frozen in one and ate it out of a bowl like ice-cream. Hope this helps

Spirulina does have a strong, fishy smell. Despite the odor, I've found it to be very effective for specific conditions.

The bottle we got to try has a oily smell but not particularly a fish smell. Mixing it with flavored yogurt is how I use it.Keep it refrigerated, I suspect it could get rancid in heat.

If I remember correctly, there was a pungent aroma at first. However, over the last couple months it has faded down to near nothing (I just gave it a sniff now before writing this). I suppose if it's really bugging you, leave it outside in the sun for an hour or so (anything longer and it might start cracking due to its fake nature) to let any coatings or chemicals off-gas.

I had the same problem and was immediately disappointed, it took about as long s you have, but I washed it out wi a vinegar solution like you might use in your frig. Then try it out with some bread inside. Even if you think that you can still smell it the bread really does come out OK. I've had mine since last May hope this helps.

My last couple of orders have been through Amazon and no smell problem noted. Take it back to your health food store and ask for a replacement. Then smell the replacement in the store before you leave.

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.
